Chapter 1551: Chapter 88: Wang Family Rolls Up the Immortal Dynasty! A Great Wind Rises (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Wang Shouzhe thought for a moment and said, "The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is overwhelmingly powerful, and there’s no need to start a conflict with them for now. The Spirit Veins we currently have are sufficient for the time being. Both the Wang family and Da Qian need some internal growth and digestion. Let’s stop extracting Spirit Veins for now."

"Stop extracting Spirit Veins? Wouldn’t that mean a huge loss of income for me?" Emperor Longchang glared in dissatisfaction and said, "How am I supposed to raise gambling funds then? I suggest we mobilize the troops right away, flatten the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, execute the three Demon Emperors... seize their land, and snatch their Spirit Veins."

Wang Shouzhe’s cheek twitched as he brushed his sleeves and stormed off: "Your Majesty, you should focus on recuperation. Don’t go anywhere."

Emperor Longchang was so furious that he shouted insults from behind him: "Wang Shouzhe, what’s with your attitude, you brat?! I haven’t even officially abdicated yet, and you’re already burning bridges. By the time I do officially retire, where will I even have a place in Da Qian?! Hmph! I shall write a letter to Emperor Zi’an this instant..."

But mid-rant, he stopped, because Wang Shouzhe had already walked far away, and further shouting would fall on deaf ears.

Besides, Emperor Longchang himself was well aware in his heart.

If Wang Shouzhe didn’t want to fight this war, there was simply no way it was going to happen. No matter how much Emperor Longchang jumped up and down, not even Jiang Zhencang or Emperor Zi’an would support him.

"Hmph, a power-hungry minister~ Truly a power-hungry minister. And he’s a stay-at-home one at that!" Emperor Longchang grumbled as he threw himself onto the couch, "Someone, inform Wang Shouzhe—tell him I want Spirit Rice for dinner, and I want hand-brewed Immortal Tea..."

...

Around the same time.

Immortal Palace.

The plaza before the Ascending Immortal Gate.

Unbeknownst to all, nearly two months had passed since Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan set up their challenge ring in the plaza.

Over those two months, Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan had fought battle after battle and remained undefeated throughout.

Unnoticeably, the crowd around the ring grew larger and larger. Some bored Immortal Palace disciples even brought over tables, chairs, and benches, assuming a posture of permanent residence. Some others joined the fun and started setting up betting pools.

One could say the atmosphere was exceedingly lively.

Even the initial makeshift ring had undergone a transformation and now looked far more official.

Near the edge of the plaza before the Ascending Immortal Gate, a specific area had been cordoned off. In the very center stood the flag Wang Licui had originally planted, with bold words glaring brightly under the sunlight: "Punch the successors of Immortal Palace, kick the Sky Prides of Sacred Land, anyone under two hundred years old is welcome."

Next to the flag, several new banners had been added. The one on the left read: "Genius Beautiful Girls Mutual Aid Alliance—losers will automatically join; only beautiful girls allowed, smelly men keep away." The one on the right read: "Challenge registration area—please submit your entry fees voluntarily."

Under the banners, Wang Ying Xuan and Wang Licui sat boldly in a Taishi Chair on either side, eating away leisurely.

A large group of Immortal Palace disciples surrounded them, sucking up to them—some massaging their legs, some fanning them, and others grilling meat and preparing dishes for them using oversized iron pots behind them.

Even Lan Wanyi, who had originally been in charge of banging the gong, now had a few self-appointed errand boys attending to her, making her look just as utterly obsequious.

Despite being lively, charming young girls, the trio had somehow managed to cultivate the atmosphere of mafia bosses.

It was still early in the day, yet a long queue had already formed in front of the registration area.

Lan Wanyi sat at the table with a stern expression, carefully inspecting the items each entrant submitted: "Only a hundred pounds of Level Seven Yao Soil Dragon meat? That’s barely enough to get Licui Sister’s teeth dirty! Have some sincerity. Next!"

"Level Nine Kui Bull meat... Now this is decent. It’s a bit less, but we’ll make do. Here’s your number card—head over there to queue up. Once Licui Sister finishes her current meal, it’ll be your turn soon."

"You want to challenge Miss Ying Xuan? Do you understand the rules? If you lose, you have to join the Genius Beautiful Girls Mutual Aid Alliance. Good—you’re aware. Fill out the challenge contract—or should I say the sales contract—and follow its number sequence to queue on the other side."

"..."

Initially, there weren’t many Immortal Palace disciples daring enough to challenge them. But as Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan’s reputations grew, the number of challengers steadily increased, reaching a point where they had to start filtering the participants.

Following someone’s suggestion, Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan soon decided on their own screening criteria and began selectively choosing challengers.

Despite this, the stream of challengers remained endless. There was no alternative; they had attracted far too much animosity. Over the past two months, their illustrious achievements had become widely known throughout the Immortal Palace.

The crowd around the ring kept swelling, making the whole scene especially lively.

Not long after, Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan finished another round of food amidst the "serving" of numerous Immortal Palace disciples and prepared to face more challengers.

Their outstanding performance drew a legion of fans, but naturally also provoked their detractors.

The latter watched from afar and couldn’t help murmuring under their breath.

"Hah~ Where did these nobodies even come from? Win a few matches and they think they’re some kind of bigshots? They seriously believe our Immortal Palace is without talent?"

"It’s just because our Senior Brother Huai Bing was out training that they’ve managed to act so ostentatiously for this long. Just wait until Senior Brother Huai Bing returns—I’ll see how much longer they can keep this up!"
